Broadsides and printed circulars aquired by Genaro García from the 18th-20th centuries. The materials are arranged by size in six series, starting with the smallest items. The sizes of the items within each series are as follows: Series 1 (up to 10 in. x 15 in.), Series 2 (between 10 in. x 15 in. and 16 in. x 20 in.), Series 3 (between 16 in. x 20 in. and 20 in. x 24 in.), Series 4 (between 20 in. x 24 in. and 22 in. x 30 in.), Series 5 (between 22 in. x 30 in. and 24 in. x 36 in.), and Series 6 (between 24 in. x 36 in. and 36 in. x 50 in.). Within each size classification, items are arranged chronologically. Undated materials are arranged alphabetically by title at the end of each group.

Materials relate primarily to the history and politics in Mexico, particularly the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). The collection contains reprints of documents by and about key political figures in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including Agustín Iturbide, Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, Benito Juárez, Antonio López de Santa Anna, Porfirio Díaz, Venustiano Carranza, Victoriano Huerta, Pancho Villa, and Emiliano Zapata.

In addition, the collection contains several circulars related to religious affairs in the late 18th century, most notably in connection to Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

The materials are almost exclusively in Spanish, although items in Latin, French, and English are included.
